(400 000 patients <i>every year</i>, just in the US, die from miscommunication errors between doctors).<p>That’s why we built Listrunner: We bring project management from the modern world into a beautiful HIPAA compliant app. Think Asana for doctors.<p>About you:<p>You have a few webapp under your belt.
You have an eye for design and want to create a delightful experience.
You know javascript and css inside out.

text: REMOTE ONLY - based in Slovenia<p>Looking for Web developers who enjoy building tools for web developers.<p>Our product Pinegrow Web Editor (<a href="http://pinegrow.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pinegrow.com</a>) is a desktop app that lets users build responsive websites faster with live multi-page editing, CSS styling and smart components for Bootstrap, Foundation, AngularJS and other frameworks. It is packaged with node-webkit and runs on Mac, Windows and Linux.<p>Web developers from more than 100 countries use Pinegrow. Here&#x27;s what they are saying about it:<p>&quot;Pinegrow is my discovery of the month!  Makes sophisticated web page creation brilliantly easy, visual and exemplary clean. A Must Buy!&quot; - &quot;It&#x27;s the best visual #html #css #bootstrap editor I&#x27;ve seen.&quot; - &quot;Severe competition for Dreamweaver. Pinegrow - an entirely different and very efficient approach.&quot; - &quot;An amazing app. Seriously fantastic experience. I think this one-ups Macaw even.&quot;<p>We launched Pinegrow in January 2014. It&#x27;s a bootstrapped product. Now it&#x27;s the time to expand the team and accelerate development and marketing.<p>We&#x27;re hiring one or more web developers who are good in:

text: SEEKING FREELANCERS - Bangalore&#x2F;Remote (Around IST (UTC+0530) timezone)<p>### About the Role<p>We&#x27;re looking for web development generalists to work with some of the client projects we have coming up in the pipeline at CommonCode India. Broadly speaking, most current CommonCoders fall in one of three categories: Designers, Developers and Infrastructure Coders.<p>Designers at CommonCode mock up our client&#x27;s requirements in both their designing software suite of choice (We have a PS&#x2F;Illustrator camp and a Sketch camp) and HTML&#x2F;CSS; and are equally good with both graphic design and web design. They have a keen eye for UI&#x2F;UX and can iterate on design quickly. We&#x27;re big on responsive design and are always experimenting and pushing boundaries when it comes to our design deliverable.<p>Developers at CommonCode are usually Python or JavaScript (or both) craftsmen. Even though the majority of our work involves either Django or Meteor, we&#x27;re never tied down to a particular technology stack (Clojure and Rust are our recent affairs). We mostly use either Backbone or Angular on the client-side, but aren&#x27;t afraid to use vanilla.js when it comes down to it.<p>Infrastructure Coders provide our clients with managed services — we&#x27;re big fans of AWS and automating our infrastructure using Puppet. We manage more than 50 different servers and try to automate any task that we need to manually perform more than once! We love HashiCorp, use Fabric for Python deployments and make sure we&#x27;re on top of infrastructure updates, so our clients can rest easy.<p>At the end of the day, these categories exist just to give you a brief idea about the different roles we have within the team, but we don&#x27;t have any strict barriers. Our coders sometimes push changes to Puppetmaster and our designers fix bugs in code. What we&#x27;re after is people with solid fundamentals in one category and an attitude to learn and experiment and grow as our projects demand!<p>### About CommonCode<p>CommonCode (<a href="http://commoncode.com.au/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;commoncode.com.au&#x2F;</a> <a href="http://commoncode.io/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;commoncode.io&#x2F;</a>) is boutique consultancy based out of Melbourne, Australia. We&#x27;re young, profitable and focused very much on creating a community of awesome individuals. Our clients include some heavy weight e-commerce companies who rely on us to handle explosive growth for their businesses, and we also deal with a number of start-ups who look up to us to guide their development as they set their foundation. Our work can either be just a single project with a client or a complete end-to-end solution: from project management to designing to development and testing to maintenance.<p>We host the Melbourne Django meetup and the Melbourne Meteor meetup, run a free to attend Django school and have some of the most well recognized Python and JavaScript gurus on our team. However, we&#x27;ve got a pretty informal, laid-back attitude: we don&#x27;t have layers of middle-management, we have a flattish team structure, and we don&#x27;t have stupid policies about dress codes or speaking your mind. We usually have music blaring at the CodeShoppe, gather every Friday for beers and BBQ and like to hang (and geek) out as a team whenever we can. We like to have fun!<p>### About CommonCode India<p>CommonCode India will be CommonCode&#x27;s base in India. We&#x27;re just starting out and are setting out with the goal to be a development powerhouse within the country. We&#x27;ll be looking to set up a CodeShoppe in Bangalore soon, but at the moment, the team is very small. You have the opportunity to join in and make a real difference in how things shape up here!<p>### How we work<p>Most of our team is concentrated in Melbourne but we&#x27;re big supporters of remote work and have CommonCoders distributed throughout the world including Germany and Mexico. As long as the work gets done to the exceptionally high standards we&#x27;ve set in the past, we don&#x27;t care where you do it from. We use Toggl to keep track of billable hours and use Flowdock to keep the team in sync. We use many different project management applications depending on the client&#x27;s preference, but are big fans of Trello.<p>Every week, you invoice the hours you work and you&#x27;re compensated for those hours within a week. We&#x27;ll even help you set up as a Sole Proprietor, if you&#x27;re not already. This removes any nasty misunderstandings and keeps the relationship very clear. We expect CommonCoders to bill about 40 hours a week (if you bill less, you make less; if you bill more, you make more; if you bill nothing, you make nothing — no more leave policy politics and payment grievances). Simple stuff.<p>### Next steps<p>If you&#x27;re interested to become a CommonCoder, we&#x27;d love to work with you! Our methodology is to give everyone a shot to prove themselves, so we&#x27;re not big on formal qualifications. We&#x27;d love it if you can forward a code sample or two our way (linking to your GitHub account would be even better)! We&#x27;d also love to know which one of our categories do you think you fit in and what about the future of that category excites you?<p>We&#x27;ll then discuss a short-term, 1-2 week paid project you can work with us on. This gives both you and us to get to know each other in the trenches and we&#x27;ll know if we&#x27;re a good fit for each other or not. If we&#x27;re not, we&#x27;ll happily clear all payments and part ways. Otherwise, we&#x27;ll look forward to a LOT of work in the future! :)<p>Please let us know what your schedule is like, how much will you able to work every week and from when are you available to start. As always, please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. Looking forward to hearing back from you soon (check profile for contact details)!
